I have a few current questions about FP4:

1. LOS has adopted the camera patch (bypassing the SYSTEM\_CAMERA permission check) from CalyxOS. Will it also be adopted in iodéOS?
2. Recently, fortunately, the updates have been coming every month. Will it remain the case that Android updates for the FP4 and all other devices now come every month instead of every 2 months?
3. Official LOS has finally been released for the FP4. The official LOS 20 will receive monthly security updates for Android and the Linux kernel, and as soon as finally available from Fairphone for the firmware (baseband, bootloader, drivers). Once iodé 4 stable comes out, will all security updates from LOS always be adopted promptly since iodéOS is based on LOS?
4. Will it be possible to upgrade to A13 via OTA for FP4? Will this be possible safely with a closed bootloader?
